Wow, lining Reid up against Buddy eh? Lets not get ahead of ourselves
Wow, lining Reid up against Buddy eh? Lets not get ahead of ourselves
To all those people who waited 72 years to see a South Melbourne/Sydney Swans premiership HERE IT IS!!
Well speculation will be no good in approximately 2 hours. We will know the team but one thing we do know is no Shaw. Sad about young Harry but at least it wasn't major. He will be back in about 4-6 weeks. Looking forward to this game as it will be an indicator as to how we are really traveling. Last week was good i parts 3& last especially but a bit slow off the mark. Can't dilly dally tomorrow or we will get blitzed in the first quarter.
Whilst I agree with the sentiment, The Cats haven't been setting the world on fire in the first half of their games to date either. They were better against Carlton but still not like the Cats of a few years ago.
Having said that, after us they are my next favourites to win the flag this year.
Great work AG. I'd argue that a more accurate player to compare Sam to is Tom Hawkins. Geelong stuck by him and look where he is now. We KNOW that KPPs take longer yet we still get frustrated when they do. We were bloody lucky with AJ but most of them take much longer. Reid usually has the opposition's best defender on him too, and will probably continue to do so until KT is able to play.

Probably frees Armstrong to move up the ground? And gives us more firepower up forward.
Like it.
Birdy omitted, definetly would have thought he would have featured this week. Good to see Morts given a run, adds firepower. I think we'll be too strong for the cattery at home, but you never know with them.
LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

Can I just say how tired I am of the "we need to play well for all 4 quarters to win" line - we have proved time and time again that you can have a dodgy quarter or two (a la last week) and still win. That's what a quality side does and that why we won the whole thing last year.
So I don't really care for a strong 4 quarter effort tomorrow - I just want us to be ahead on the scoreboard when the siren sounds at the end of the 4th quarter and I don't really care too much how we get there....
My game plan is to have more points than the Cats at the final siren. If we do that we're a massive chance of winning.
I'm available for consultations Horse.
..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

I guess there was no point in have Birdy in the vest for the 3rd week running. Probably Rampe will take his place, but could be Armstrong. They may need the better tackler against the Cats. Rampe may be a good matchup against Johnson. We must be pretty good if someone of Bird's quality can't crack the team.
No Kelly for the Cats.
he was talked up this morning as a big chance to comeback.
Not totally unhappy with the changes!!
